The Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests measure how well students have mastered the knowledge and skills defined in Quality Core Curriculum. Beginning in Spring 2002, the tests will be administered in grades 1-8 for reading, English/language arts, and mathematics.
Additionally, tests will be administered in grades 3-8 for social studies and science. For the 2000-2001 school year, the CRCTs were administered only to students in grades 4, 6, and 8 in reading, English/language arts, and mathematics. |
